Asbestos Exposure on Aircraft Carriers

People who have dedicated years of their lives and labor to the nation working on aircrafts have tragically and unnecessarily been the victims of asbestos exposure. Asbestos exposure on aircraft carriers and other ships greatly increases the risk of developing a serious and fatal asbestos cancer, called mesothelioma. Moreover, asbestos exposure on aircraft carriers increased the risk of numerous health problems, which can develop years or even decades after work in or around aircraft carriers.

What are aircraft carriers?

Aircraft carriers have been used extensively throughout all the major US wars of recent history. Enabling and augmenting military air operations via sea vessel, aircraft carriers are responsible for deploying and recovering aircrafts. Because aircraft carriers lack the firepower of other ships, they often travel as part of a carrier battle fleet. Unfortunately, both aircraft carriers, and other crafts with which they travel, present serious occupational asbestos exposure hazards to those who construct, maintain, repair, and demolish aircraft carriers and their aircrafts.

Asbestos exposure on aircraft carriers

Asbestos exposure on aircraft carriers is an undeniable hazard that threatens the health and lives of all those who have worked on these sea-going vessels over the last 100 years. Asbestos is a heat-resistant, fireproofing, soundproofing and insulating material that was used extensively on aircraft carriers. Though the risks associated with this material have been long known, the military and private operations chose to use this product despite the serious hazards of asbestos exposure to humans.

Asbestos exposure on aircraft carriers has the proven effect of causing serious injury, including asbestos cancer, medically known as mesothelioma. This asbestos cancer and other related diseases can develop years or even decades after asbestos exposure on aircraft carriers.
